Celebrity-Only Book Industry Comes Dangerously Close to Publishing 'Writer'

Permasmiley celebrity Columbia writing student James Franco is going to have a book of his short stories published by Scribner. This, strangely, is the least ridiculous book deal we've written about this week. [Fox]

@a boy and his dog: Completely agree. This girl in my class in high school used to write all this weird, non-sensical crap, and our English teacher would totally call her on it when she read her stuff out loud. Now the girl has a book deal (actually, also with Scribner) and I can't help but think that she probably wants to call up that teacher and shove it in her face.
